Pinot Noir from Russian River Valley, California

Winemaker Notes

Aromas of dried cherries, rose and magnolia are interwoven with light vanilla coffee and hints of pine needle and resin. Juicy concentrated strawberry and cherry compote flavors on the front palate are balanced by a weightier yet elegant mid-palate. Hints of vanilla bean panna cotta leads to a lingering, mouthwatering finish with bright coastal acidity.

James Suckling – 95 Points

Brilliant, bright red and black fruit drives this well-structured wine. Moderate tannins and good acidity match the powerful, delicious fruit for great balance on a high level. Subtle oak spices are well-blended in.

Food Pairing 

Pairs well with grilled salmon, shrimp scampi, and pan-seared sea bass.
